Don't know if this a local{near Edinburgh} thing but wherever you see a bunch of teenagers{of the ned/chav/scally variety} round here they have on the regulation Nike/Adidas grey jogging pants. Fair enough, think I own a pair myself.
What I don't do is swagger about fondling myself in public. In the house is a different matter and I would die to defend a man's right to self-cuppage in the privacy of his own home - but whilst I admit at the marvel contained in my pants around the time my balls dropped and/or I developed my first pubes, the only folk who did this in public were sex-pests, now they're everywhere!
I cannot fathom why these little urchins feel the need to continually self-check themslves at every single opportunity, whilst walking about the street, stopping only to get out there mobiles to play tinny, annoying, vapid, LOUD music.
Anyone know a teenager well enough to ask him why they do this? In fact I don't want to know, just tell him to stop.
I'd make it a shootable offence. Or at least a good tazering. Disgusting.
They're not checking themselves - they're trying to stop their knife/gun dropping down their trouser leg!
They do it to annoy you, specifically.
It appears to be working...
Oh it's working!
I've noticed this too. my brother CONSTANTLY does it around home. why?!?
refer to him has 'blad' and end every scentance with 'yaGetMe???' he'll get the hint.
they do it round here too. I reckon they're all on that new Meow Meow drug and are trying to tear their own ball bags off.
They're not checking themselves - they're trying to stop their knife/gun dropping down their trouser leg!
Yeah, that's what they'd *like* you to think. In reality, they're just playing with themselves.
They're all Michael Jackson fans.
Every ****t in a tracky round here seems to have bits that will fall off if they don't keep hold 24/7.
I find it disturbing frankly
I cant believe I even have an opinion on this .
Obviously I must, by some measure at least , be old .
I have seen this disturbing behaviour . Hopefully like the ' Rockport / trackies tucked in socks ' look it will pass .
Maybe that hip cat ' Dr Dre ' does it .
You'd think he'd know better.
In the 80's we wore Bennetton rugby shirts , and I dont even like rugby .
And I'm from Wigan !
At the time the irony was lost on me.
If I was a copper type , I'd say something like " Hey sonny , ello ello , what's all this then , nick nick nick . Promptly remove your hands from your trousers or I will arrest you forthwith and remove you to the nearest 'cop shop ' where you will be charged with a minor sexual offence and placed on the sex offenders register , or something , and we'll definitely give you a bit of a slap , and that , but nothing that will really show , soles of your feet , or something with a lenght of hosepipe, pocket billiards was an offence in my day sunshine, you wanna get yourself in the army . Or navy ."
Or something .
I went through a red light today .
Beginning of the end , I tell ya .
I was on me bike , mind .
I have a vision of the future , and it's not like ' Blade Runner '.
Maybe they have itchyness due to some STD?
Yuck!
Is Edinburgh now part of the USA ?
They're trousers, not pants.
And yet stick [i]your[/i] hands down[i] their[/i] trousers, you know, just to help them find what they're looking for, and....
Never noticed it myself, try not to look at other peoples crotches.
continually self-check themslves
[pedant]no need for the "themselves" in that sentence[/pedant]
[pedant]Unless "themselves" is a euphemism.[/pedant]
Nope, still doesn't work?

Dunno, but they have been pants to everyone I grew up with and for the last 28 years, and I lived near Wigan.
same down here in Dumfries. probably being influenced by the yanky music vids, same as the young girls in hotpants, jeggins and little else 😳
I'm oddly reassured by this thread, as I've noticed the "scals" around here (Merseyside) walking round playing with themselves in the way described. Nice to know such social inadequacy is present elsewhere, not just in the scouse population.
Seriously?

You think I'm looking at their crotches? It's kind of hard not to see where their hands are you self-righteous tool. Have you really nothing better to do with your time tonight? Nae luck.
